Start your engines...

...the cars are booked. Well, I say "the cars" but what I mean is "my cars". Simon will still have to figure out a way to get there. We have them for two hours. Everything is in the same place so it's only got to get us there...a 5 minute journey...but they're sticking around for photos after the ceremony. It'll probably rain!

MTH Fayre

Simon and I will be attending a wedding fayre on Sunday. I'm hoping to clear up a lot of indecisions on my part. It's supposed to be quite a large event and I'm optimistic that we'll see more suppliers than we have done previously. At the smaller fayres you tend to witness the same two competing companies moving around them all, whether it be florists, stationers or cars.

There's also a catwalk show although I'm not interested in that bit. I hope I can muster some enthusiasm about wedding dresses fairly soon or I'll be saying the same thing when we're in July. There are no appealing dresses with sleeves!

Take a stand...

I'm pretty much decided on having cupcakes but still want to have the traditional "cake cutting" photo. I know I'll regret it if I don't do it. Simon and I were in USave this weekend (which is a brilliant shop for amazing bargains sometimes) and found this cake stand. The picture doesn't do it justice and it catches the light beautifully. We decided to get it and use it for a small cake to cut for pictures. That way we can have the cupcakes on seperate stands either side.

USave DID have cupcake stands but they didn't match and wouldn't hold enough.

In the frame...

I've been thinking about the seating plan arrangement and I like the idea of having each list of people (making a table) inside various frame designs. I came across these yesterday and really like the style:
